The Story in Brief
TMC MP Mahua Moitra has written to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla alleging that Nadia district officials tried to evict her from Krishnanagar’s Circuit House late on Friday night. Moitra said she checked in around 6.15 pm, received tea and dinner, and was asked to leave at 9.47 pm by an additional district magistrate who said the order had come “from the top”.
She said a WhatsApp message later cited maintenance work, although confirmed bookings made before August 13 were exempt. Moitra alleged that a crowd gathered outside around 11 pm and shouted slogans after she refused to leave. She has sought Birla’s intervention and indicated she may move the Calcutta High Court or seek a privilege motion. The Nadia administration had not issued an immediate response, India Today reports.
The Indian Opinion
The competing narratives are already familiar: one side may present this as routine administration, while the other may call it proof of political intimidation. Neither conclusion is established yet. The key facts are whether the room was validly allotted, why the request came late at night, and whether officials ensured her safety after the crowd gathered. The Nadia administration’s written account, CCTV footage and call records should settle more than political accusations can.
